The AirTAC Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X75SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø100mm bore and 75mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and a C-clip / riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Magnetic-switch slots around the body accept position sensors.
The AirTAC ACQ100X75SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered to deliver substantial thrust in a minimal axial footprint. It generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at an 801 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa. The riveted C-clip body design significantly reduces overall length compared to standard round-body cylinders, saving valuable machine mounting depth.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for use with AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and a male-thread piston rod end (-B) sized at M26x1.5 for direct load coupling. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends. Because these are rigid buffers rather than adjustable air cushions, high-energy cycles may require slowing the approach or adding external shock absorbers.

Provides robust knockout force to eject heavy plastic automotive interior panels from molds, utilizing the male M26x1.5 thread for secure tool mounting.
Lifts and positions thick steel blanks into a hydraulic press, where the short C-clip body saves critical axial space in the transfer line.
Applies downward pressure to square and flatten corrugated pallet layers before stretch wrapping, relying on the 5497.8 N thrust available at 0.7 MPa.
When sizing this 100 mm bore model, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 125 mm big-bore variant provides 6135.9 N. The ACQ100X75SB travels 75 mm, well within the 100 mm standard stroke limit for this bore. It features a PT3/8 port, a Ø32 mm rod, and the specified male M26x1.5 thread with the sensor magnet.
Keep in mind that a standard ACQ body does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the rod will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end. If your application requires a fail-safe load hold, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve must be installed.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3524.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 5497.8 N. The maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
No, the ACQ100X75SB uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at the stroke ends rather than an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy loads, you should slow the approach or install an external shock absorber to prevent end-stop damage.
